Nicole Brossard: "I am not satisfied with what society offers me as a future or imposes on me in the present because if I were to follow its directives, it would mean that I would have to lead a boring, middlebrow, puritan life. This means that I value research, intelligence, and pleasure."
"exploration (which provides for renewal of information and knowledge), intelligence (which provides the ability to process things), and pleasure (which provides for energy and desire)"
